As you progress, continuously train yourself in various ways to stay ahead in the competitive market.




As your game progresses, research and unlock new elements.

With over 60 things to unlock, the possibilities are endless to create your next hit games.



Feeling unmotivated? Don't worry, you're competing with 5000 other companies. They are smart and hardworking, just like your team. Create better games and use effective marketing tactics to earn more and stay ahead.

  Mega Update for Game Builder Tycoon Prologue is here!

  Key Updates: Realistic Monthly Sales: Your games will now sell on a monthly basis, with sales figures displayed in the bottom panel (unlocks after creating two games). Sales will dynamically adjust over time, gradually decreasing based on market factors like hype, your marketing strategy, genre-device combinations, game type, and more! New HD Characters: We've added 16 brand-new high-definition characters with improved visuals, bringing more life to your studio and games! AI-Free Art: We’ve completely removed all AI-generated images from the game and the Steam store. Every piece of art is now handcrafted by our talented team! Game Creation Overview Section: No more need to remember important details while creating your game! The new overview section provides everything you need to see in one place during game development. Free-to-Play Option: You can now decide if your game will be free-to-play or paid. Free-to-play games won’t generate revenue until you introduce in-app purchases, adding another layer of strategy to your game creation process. Expanded Multiplayer Options: Choose from local multiplayer, online multiplayer, PvP, PvE, or even MMO options (though MMO is not available in the prologue). Customize your multiplayer features like never before! Reputation System: A new reputation system now tracks your company's overall standing, which indirectly impacts your sales. Building a strong reputation will benefit your studio in the long run! More Game-Making Options: We've added 15 new game creation options to choose from, including Visuals, Code, Quests, Voiceovers, UI, and more! These options will provide even greater customization and control over your game development process. Sequel System & Game Balancing: Develop sequels with improved balance, providing a smoother and more satisfying gameplay experience. Fine-tune your games with even more precision! And don't forget to add full game to your wishlist! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2756470/Game_Builder...
